Chapter 2

Step by step I walked to my locker so I could put my bag away, I reached my locker and started un packing my stuff when, HE walked by. He flipped his hair, "Perfectly" as every one in the school calls it. One by one after him guys flipped there hair just like he did. He calls them friends, but I know what friends are, I call them people who want to be popular! There names, well only Joey matters, he's the leader of the group. He was wearing dark black pants with a dark blue hoodie flapping up and down while he walked.

They walked in a v shape all the way down the hall, it's as if as soon as he walks by someone they bow to him. Lots of people try to resist bowing but then his football team mates shove them in a locker, unless your a pretty girl. Apparently Paige is a pretty girl, Paige is a popular. I don't know how she just is.

I don't know what people see in her she seams so, what's the word mean.

"Your thinking out loud again" it was the one voice I could never forget. One of my best guy friends, I turned around, his bright brown eyes where staring at mine. I gave him a smile, and turned to grab the rest of my stuff before class started.

" I don't understand what's so special about her" I called out " Do you see anything special in her?"

There was silence , I turned around wondering why he wouldn't answer me.

" I, I have to go see you around"

" Is there something wrong Gavin" but he just walked away, not saying a word.

The bell rang twisting my ear drum from the noise. I didn't hesitate to get to class, but one I got there I had second thoughts. There standing right in front of me was Lucas, Lucas just saying the name in my head made me blush.

I'm usually good at keeping a straight face, but when his eyes sparkle like they do with the light hitting them. It had to be my favorite colour as his eye colour, sky blue. He makes me smile and laugh. He's just that funny.

I walked closer, we both stopped in our tracts. I was expecting him to flip his light brown hair in my face and get mad that I was in his path but instead he just my his light skin on my shoulder, looked in my eye and said,

"Sorry Liv."

I couldn't think of any thing to do so I walked away. What was I supposed to do beside walk away it's not like everyone else was controlling me, what should I have done, kneel on my knees and beg for a pardon, I wasn't that stupid. I went and sat on my seat it was cold and damp from the cold wind blowing in from the opened window.

Our teacher stared teaching, like most teachers but I had a hard time remembering and understanding it. Usually the words turn to a blur and I just fail at every test, but I always have a greek teacher pushing me to my limits.

Blah, blah, blah was the only sound I could make out of Mrs. Harrington's talking. But a sudden voice caught my attention, it was Lucas I looked behind me, so did everyone else in the class as far as I could see.

"Mr.Lucas walker is there something you would like to share with the class?" Mrs. Harrington said in a sarcastic voice .

"Uh-uh," there was a little stumble in his voice, like he was scared of a teacher." umm no ma'am. "

He said just enough for me to hear.

The class had a chuckle, and I have to admit so did I.

" Quite" Mrs. harrington said startling me at first, within not even two seconds our class went from a loud distraction to a quite whisper.

She continued talking with no interruptions and everyone listened, that is every one but me. I just sat there doodling glancing over at the clock every so often waiting for the bell to ring.

Finally the bell rang, I was out of the jail sell, as some people describe it. Cold, dark, lights always blinking and sometimes there being power outages. But I stayed strong I only had a few more years till I was out, and let me tell you I was excited.

I walked down the hall preparing for the next class. My next class was my favorite teachers class, but she pushes me as if I'm going to save the world with all this greek stuff.

I got to Mrs. Gates home room and took my seat in the very front row, she likes to place me there for some reason I didn't understand. She told me to pay attention to every class, but mostly the ones i think are not important.

Mrs. Gates started to teach, her wide eyes making sure everyone was paying attention. I grabbed a line piece of paper and a pen, and stared to doodle, I did know what I was drawing but all I know was I did circles, well spirals.

Mrs. Gates gave out a project, I think it was about the gods and how they came to be. Mrs. Gates started walking around but I didn't notice until she was breathing on my neck.

"What's that?" Mrs. Gates said in a startling voice.

I said, " It's just some kind of symbol I seen some where." My voice was a little shaky, hoping I wouldn't get in trouble.

She bent down and slowly took the paper from under my hand, walked to the front of the class room and lifted it for everyone to see.

" Can anyone tell what this symbol means in greek?"

For a moment no one raised there hand,

"Anyone?" She asked again looking more curious than ever.

Slowly some kids in my class raised their hands, unknowing of the answer correctly. Mrs. Gates looked around thinking who to choose.

"Melody" Mrs. Gates said, telling everyone who she had picked.

" umm, Hero?" Melody said while Mrs. Gates licked her lips.

I started screaming in my head saying,

" I WAS RIGHT! I WAS RIGHT!"

Not even three seconds after I was happy for knowing Mrs. Gates started talking again,

" Well Melody you have been studying very hard, but I'm afraid hero has a cross in the middle of the three circles."

She said, I suddenly didn't feel so happy.

" I'm sorry Mrs. Gates, I don't know than."

" Very well, anyone else have a guess?" She said.

There was another moment of silents, before Mrs. Gates started talking again.

" This symbol is not so much Hero it's more of the darker side, well it is the dark side. The side means..."

" darkness" me and Mrs. Gates said at the same side.

" Looks like you know your stuff, Mrs. Jones." Mrs. Gates said staring in my eyes with a smile.

I smiled back at her.

She came over and put it back under my hands and said,

" keep studying, I'm very proud of you!"

I looked around, everyone was staring at me.

"Teachers pet" Johnny said with a cough.

Johnny is a guy in my class who thinks he's so cool buts not he has, light brown hair the stands straight from all the gel. His skin in just lighter than pale, he was wearing dark blue jeans and a t-shirt.

" Get to work everyone" Mrs. Gates said.

Our class slowly faded to silents.
